Be prepared to pay for nothing Requested a translation from Gengo for which I had to pay in advance. Then told there was no translator willing/able to take it on because it was too difficult but they were going to keep the money anyway as a "credit" in my account! Alternatively I could pay more for their premium service. Not on your nelly. Will stick to reputable/serious translation agencies in the future or Google Translate rather than throw my money out of the window.

I Love Gengo We need quick translations for my clients and Gengo really fits the bill. They're able to give quick turnaround for many languages at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend them.

Apparently, they hire unprofessional reviewers I'm a professional freelance translator, and taken their test just to see. They rejected my translation, and they just said that "I made too many errors" citing just one example. This example was not exactly an error, which just showed how illiterate and ignorant the "native" reviewer is about his (my) language. If they think they are hiring qualified translators this way, you can just guess the level of translation you will get. Don't waste money on them. If you think I'm just taking out on them for rejecting me, fine, please go on and waste your money and time.

What a Bullsh*t company What a Bullsh*t company! The English-Korean pair tests were the worst quality word-for-word translation. The reviews were completely bullsh*t too. It's obvious the so-called professional reviewers are probably the same people who translated/made up the terrible word-for-word tests. Also, it turns out the reviewers also work as translators at Gengo, so clearly they don't want competition, so they would dismiss any great test translations with made up, bullsh*t, phony excuses which is possible because their reviews are final and no rebuke is allowed. One of the worst translation companies ever!

waste of time There are very few jobs available. After a month of constant monitoring I didn't manage to get any job. Besides they don't allow you to move to the ProLevel. They reject your translations giving absolutely stupid explanations so that it becomes obvious that they just want you to remain at the lowest paid level.
